#19666 closed enhancement (fixed)
gnat-gcc: dependency on external compiler

Description
I had the same issue of #18415 .
I suggest to :
- explicitly add a note into description warning the user about the need to have a bootstrap compiler
- add dependencies into the Portfile to avoid building the port at all if no compiler is found rather than let it break while trying to.

I would not burden the description with this, but the port should definitely detect if it has what it needs to build, and if not, tell the user what to do to fix it. Many ports do similar things already, for example to check that a recent-enough version of Xcode is installed.
